Abstract
(1) THE author has covered a wide range of topics within the small compass of a hundred pages. He opens by explaining the use of the vernier calliper and the micrometer screw-gauge, and this leads naturally to an exposition of contracted methods. There is an excellent chapter on graphical work, which includes applications to statics; and there are also sections on the practical use of logarithms, the meaning of the trigonometric functions, the mensuration of plane and solid figures, and variation. The concluding chapter introduces the reader to Cartesian geometry.
